Some people feel guilty about asking for
help from the angels. If that is true for you,
know that there’s absolutely nothing to feel
bad or guilty about. The good news is that
angels absolutely love helping you! The bad
news is that they really can’t help you if you
don’t ask.
Humans have what’s called free will. From
my experience, the angels can’t intervene
and help you if you don’t invite them into
your life for support. Moral of the story? Ask,
ask, ask, and then keep on asking.
PRAYER VS. INVOCATION
An invocation is a slightly more formal way to
communicate with the angels. I am teaching
it to you because it is the most powerful way
that I know of to enlist their help.
Most people have heard the word prayer,
but not too many people have heard of or
understand the word invocation. I am going
to focus on invocation because the energy
of invocation is quite different from that of
prayer and can be even more powerful.
Prayer is the act of calling upon a divinity
outside yourself to intercede on your behalf
to solve whatever problems you are having.
Praying is an amazing way to connect with
the divine and find peace and solace.
ASK, ASK, ASK,
AND THEN KEEP
As a matter of fact, you really don’t even
have to speak the words out loud. You can
just think them, and they can still hear you.
Angels are cool that way. Having heart-
to-heart conversations with your angels
throughout the day—whether out loud or just
in your thoughts—is highly recommended,
because amazing things can happen for you
just from doing that.
ON ASKING.
Invocation is outwardly similar to prayer. You
are still calling on the divine for aid; however,
an invocation actually invites the beautiful
presence of the divine to fill your entire being,
your heart, mind, body, and soul. To invoke
is to essentially awaken and allow divinity to
move through you, which, as you can imagine,
can bring deep healing to all aspects of your
being. The process of invocation includes
you, a magical human, as one of the key
ingredients of the recipe for miracle making.
Prayer doesn’t really do that.
Invocation acknowledges your own magic
in the equation, and this is why I love using
invocations and teaching about them.
HOW TO DO AN
INVOCATION
Even though the angels can completely hear
you if you don’t speak to them out loud, I
find speaking invocations out loud helps you
focus on your intentions, especially if your
mind is all over the place.
When you’re doing an invocation, you
will want to get into the actual feeling and
emotion of it. A solid invocation includes
